With offices across Leicestershire, we combine local expertise with nationwide legal standards.

We advise on commercial property transactions including sales, purchases, leases, and development land acquisitions.

Led by Mark Tildesley with over 45 years' experience, we handle complex deals such as auction purchases and pension scheme investments, ensuring legal compliance and commercial practicality for clients in Leicester and beyond.
Dispute Resolution
Our dispute resolution team specialises in contractual conflicts, debt recovery, and property disputes for businesses and individuals.
